Our Last Full Day on Symi - This Trip

Lovely light over the Pedi Valley hillside yesterday evening.

A little later on, the glow was more pronounced.

Went to the Sunrise Cafe for a farewell session with George and Terri, which went on for 3 hours and even saw some dancing from Ian and Lynn. Afterwards, I was graced for a little while with the presence of the magnificent Noww.

A late night, and awake early enough to see the sun coming up at the end of the valley before getting a few more hours of sleep.

I went down to Yialos to get last euros out of the bank, to buy a spinach pie for lunch for Su & me, and to bid our goodbyes to Clare for this trip.

Looking up at a fairly well restored section of the Kalistrata.

The only excursion boat in today was the Symi.

Caught the bus to Pedi, where I rendezvoused with Su on a sunbed. It was already starting to cloud over, as forecast.

The bay had only a couple of yachts in.

By the end of the afternoon, the skies were positively murky.

The waters had calmed down from earlier. This was a low key day for our last full day on Symi this trip - tomorrow will see us enduring much lower temperatures and rain by the end of the day.

This day a year ago, our time in Symi was drawing to and end for that trip, the weather was muggy and cloudy and I played at the Sunrise with George one last time that visit - plus ça change!

After Bella

This blog was originally titled "After Bella" in honour of our lovely dog....who lived to the ripe old age of 14. We found her at a local rescue centre in 2009 and she was adorable. We made a commitment to her for the rest of her life, which finally reached its end in 2014. She is much missed…
